(FILES) This file photo taken on March 17, 2011 shows an aerial view of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant which sits on the edge of the Pacific Ocean at Avila Beach in San Luis Obispo County, California. Under a proposal announced on June 21, 2016 by Pacific Gas and Electric, the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, the states last operating nuclear facility, would be shuttered by PG&E after its current Nuclear Regulatory Commission operating licenses expire in November 2024 and August 2025. The power produced by Diablo Canyons two nuclear reactors would be replaced with investment in a greenhouse-gas-free portfolio of energy efficiency, renewables and energy storage, PG&E said in a statement. The power output loss would be compensated by using technologies that do not emit greenhouse gases, including renewable energy. / AFP PHOTO / MARK RALSTONMARK RALSTON/AFP/Getty Images
